Get the what is a bandmug. The strange mixture of water, human saliva, & whatever other liquids make residence on the band room floor. Generally viewed with disgust.

Get the Band Watermug. A place in middle and high school where cults are formed, friendships (and instruments) made and broken, and the source of the band director's greatest pride (but also their least favorite place in the world).
Band kid: hey, I'm going to the band room during lunch. Wanna join?
Non-band kid: sure
*enters band room*

Non-band kid: *passes out*
Band kid: *shrugs and joins the percussionists sacrificing a clarinet*

Get the Bandmug. Some underground or obscure band (or band obscure to the fans' larger peer group) that someone likes only because they can act elitist and sophisticated OR they can they say they like something unique different from everyone else. In bad cases, should the band break into the mainstream, they will suddenly disavow their fanship.
As a phenomenon, the term can be applied to individual artists. Most associated with genres with strong anti-authoritarian tendencies like punk, indie rock or hip hop, but can be applied to a wide range of situations, like random American fans of J-pop who really only like it because they can feel special, in contrast to true appreciators.
Sometimes associated with hipsters, or rather, their imitators.
Nevertheless everyone needs a dose of identity band sometimes. The opposite excess, where your playlist is entirely composed of songs off the top 40 lists, is a much worse sin.

It doesn't matter how massively popular Coldplay is, Arjun is self-confident enough that he doesn't have an identity band crisis for liking them.
Person 1: I liked Kid Cudi and Kanye better when they were underground.
Person 2: Please tell me you're not into that insecure identity band shit.

Get the Band Photographermug. a combination of oral sex and wanking off a sexual partner. One may perform oral stimulation on the tip while giving a hand job to the rest of the penis or start with oral sex before finishing with a hand job or perhaps any own personal combination of the two with the aim for maximum sexual stimulation

Get the band jobmug. A sudden death of a band member (usually the lead singer) that leads to the band's permanent break up. They will decide that the member that died was irreplaceable and thus cannot go on.
Please note that there are plenty of bands, like the Rolling Stones, that carried on after the loss of a bandmate. Sometimes the surviving members form a new band, like how the surviving members of Joy Division reformed as New Order when Ian Curtis killed himself.
Queen didn't disband when Freddie Mercury passed away and John Deacon left, they just changed as a band.
The Doors was kinda this because they released two shitty albums after Jim Morrison died.
